Temptation train’s a-comin’
Over the limit, down the line
Was I numb to the pain
Maybe blinded by the light
If you do it once,
You do it a hundred times
If they kept records of my wrongs
They’d be so scratched they would not play
You want your cup to overflow
Well sometimes so does your plate
We should have a celebration
Knowing some things never change
I tried staying busy
I must have lost my mind
No one knows the reason why
Never came together
Took on too much weight
Picking up more cargo
Than I could actually take
Headed to or headed from
What does it matter anyway
I tried staying busy
I must have lost my mind
Undone, it wears me out to try
To get rid of temptation to run
So I run
